Martha Stewart Weddings has recognized “upscale jelly shots”, formerly known as plain ol’ Jello shots, as one of the hottest wedding trends right now. There is actually a blog and several books dedicated to the very subject. DIY brides are gonna love this project!

Gourmet Jello Shots are classic cocktails translated into beautiful gelatin form with a flavor true to the drink inspiration. They are surprisingly quick and easy to make. Since jello shots presentation is everything, replace the traditional little plastic cups with fancy molds to create unique shapes.

Plus they can come in almost any color to match the wedding and can be made to taste just like some of your favorite drinks!
